Jujuy (Spaingie pronunciation: [xuˈxui]) is a province o Argentinae, locatit in the extreme northwast o the kintray, at the borders wi Chile an Bolivie. The anerlie neebourin Argentine province is Salta tae the east an sooth.

Durin the Mey Revolution an the battles for the unthirldom o the Unitit provinces o the Sooth, mony confrontations teuk place in Jujuy acause the Spainyie concentratit thair forces in Peru. The fowk o Jujuy haed tae endur the Jujuy Exodus, a massive evacuation wi a scorched yird policy, led bi General Manuel Belgrano. Feenally the Spainyie surrendered, but the war seriously affectit the economy o the aurie.

Efter a series o internal conflicts, the province declared its autonomy frae Tucumán an Salta Provinces on 18 November 1834. Jujuy stairtit a gradual process o economic an social impruivement, an at the end o the 19t century, the succarcane industrie arose. At the beginnin o the follaein century, the railwey awready connectit the province wi Buenos Aires, an La Paz, Bolivie.

The vast difference in hicht an climate produces desert auries such as the Salinas Grandes salt mines, an subtropical Yungas jungle.

In spite o the different auries, the terrain o the province is mainly arid an semi-desertic, except for the El Ramal glen o the San Francisco River. Temperatur difference atween day an nicht is wider in heicher launds, an precipitations are scarce ootside the temperate aurie o the San Francisco River.

The Grande River an the San Francisco River are fed bi the Bermejo River. The San Juan, La Quiaca, Yavi an Sansana are fed bi the Pilcomayo River.

Jujuy is, despite its landwart profile, no pairticularly agrarian. Agricultur contributes aboot 10% tae ootput an the main agricultural activity is succarcane. Its processin represents mair nor hauf o the province's gross production, an 30% o the naitional succar production. The seicont agricultural activity is the tobacco, cultivatit in the sootheastren glen, as a major naitional producer.

Ither crops include beans, citrus an tomatoes, an ither vegetables for local consumption. Cattle an goats are raised on a sma scale, mainly for local dairies, an llamas, vicuñas an guanacos are raised in significant nummers for oo.

Apairt frae the fantastic contrast o laund colours an formations, tourists are attractit bi the strang aboriginal ruits in the cultur o Jujuy an aw. Aymará an Quechua culturs coexist in the aurie, an ruins o the Incas are well conservit.
